| coming from the guy who wears his buttoning point inbetween armpits...

Bah, halfway between navel and sternum is hardly armpit territory. Now hard threes on the other hand...

(as I said, certifiable wacko when it comes to buttoning points)

I have a giant head. Crown to jaw, it accounts for 15.4% of my height. I'm 6.5 heads tall while the average person is 7.5. (Edit: Just spent a while reading about ideal head-to-body ratios in art. It depressed me)

However, the argument might be made that a lower buttoning point might offset a larger head by showing more shirt and tie...

I have pretty medium shoulders, not too broad, not too narrow. I can try experimenting with some slightly wider shoulders next time. The cloth is a pretty standard medium grey twill, Gladson fabric. It's a four season fabric, right around 10oz.[/

Thanks! I had the option of standard vs wide lapels, and I'm glad I went with the wider option. They're about 4.25", and I was worried they might look too wide, but I was very happy with the way they balance out on the suit.
